Simple subID tracking for PrePop email submits
ByOn last night’s webinar there were a few questions about tracking with prepop pages. It is a little tricky but I put together an example of how to do it along with a downloadable package with all the example php code.
http://www.ppv123.com/php/prepop/prepop.zip
There’s instructions on how to use it in the .zip as well but I’ll go over it briefly here as well.
With this example you pass through your keyword/url to the “sub” query string variable. This form saves it in a session and presents the user your landing page. Once the user enters their email address and submits the form, the php builds the rest of the affiliate link with the subid and email address included and forwards the user to the prepopped page.
I tried to make this as easy as possible. This example uses a market leverage home depot offer and ML’s email variable is conveniently named “email”. Change this in the top of the PHP if your network uses a different email variable name.
Here’s a working example of the code included in the download prepop.zip

Hope this helps you guys. Let me know if you have any questions.

Awesome and totally helpful. Thanks a lot. Just wondering if there’s a way to use this with the cloaking redirects in Prosper202…
I’m not a big Prosper guy so I wouldn’t know. I have been using my own tracker the past few months as I am developing it. I would need to know more about prosper to answer this, sry…

Hello Corey,
Does this link working good? Because I can not load the scripts.

Hey Vitaly,
We are in the process of moving to a new server and that file didn’t get uploaded. I just posted it so you should be good to go. Let me know if you need anything else.
Working pretty well now.
Thank you very much. Now I have a question about automatically fill the CPA offer form, when people enter their e-mail and push the submit button on my Landing Page.
Can I do it’s without asking my affiliate manager to change their html code?
If you have any ideas, I’ll appreciate this =)
Best Regards,
Vitaly
Sure, the easiest way is to confirm that the email submit offer is “pre-poppable”. If it is you simiply add the email that the user enters to the end of your affiliate link like this in most cases “email={insert email here}” and redirect to that link.
Otherwise, you can try to prepop an email submit even though it’s not listed as pre-poppable. Like, if it’s an affiliate.com offer (they run direct track) you can append “email={insert email here}” to your aff link and give it a test.
I notice about 30% of the email and zip submits I try can be pre-popped even though they are not listed as such.
Do you need help passing the email into the aff link or can you do that yourself?
Brilliant Corey.
That is exactly what I need. One deep question. Am I need to use & before email and Am I need to use { } ?
So I have a CJ affiliate link like http://www.dasdsdasd.net/click-334534538-10634534582
I need to change it to:
http://www.dasdsdasd.net/click-334534538-10634534582&email={mail_here}
or
http://www.dasdsdasd.net/click-334534538-10634534582&email=mail_here (without {} )
I think with Aweber it’ll be look like “Thank you page” (without confirmation)
1) http://www.dasdsdasd.net/click-334534538-10634534582Am I right here?
I want to use this one:
PPV -> LP (with e-mail only and without confirmation) -> Visitor type e-mail and push submit button -> E-mail adding to my Aweber database & automatically added to “Thank you affiliate link”
sorry for Aweber link is:
http://www.dasdsdasd.net/click-334534538-10634534582{!email} – it’s an Aweber “Field”
